Enterprise-level security leadership—without the enterprise price tag.

Big companies hire Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to oversee risk, compliance, and strategy. But for small businesses and startups, that role is out of reach… until now. With a Fractional CISO (also called vCISO), you get on-demand executive-level security guidance tailored to your business—without adding a six-figure salary to your payroll.

What a Fractional CISO Does for You

🧭 Security Strategy That Matches Your Business

  • Translate cybersecurity into plain English (and dollars).
  • Align security with your business goals—not random IT checklists.
  • Prioritize the “must-haves” vs. the “nice-to-haves.”

📑 Compliance & Audit Readiness

  • Build and maintain security policies your team can actually follow.
  • Prep for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, or client/vendor audits without stress.
  • Guide evidence collection and answer those endless security questionnaires.

🔐 Risk Management & Vendor Oversight

  • Identify your top risks and how to handle them affordably.
  • Assess contractors, cloud providers, and tools for hidden risks.
  • Build safer vendor and employee onboarding/offboarding workflows.

📣 Executive & Board-Level Communication

  • Provide digestible updates for investors, clients, and partners.
  • Represent your company in client security reviews.
  • Coach you and your leadership team on decision-making under pressure.

🚨 Incident Response Leadership

  • Build an incident response plan before disaster strikes.
  • Act as your “crisis quarterback” during a breach, fraud attempt, or doxxing.
  • Coordinate with IT, law enforcement, PR, and insurance providers.
